All Saints Church

All Saints Church is a Gothic Revival church building in Cambridge, constructed between 1863 and 1870. The interior features ornate patterns on walls and ceilings with floral friezes and pomegranate motifs, complemented by religious texts and symbols.

The building was designed by architect George Frederick Bodley and replaced a medieval church that previously occupied the St John's Street site. Its completion marked a new phase in the architectural development of Cambridge during the 19th century.

The stained glass windows were created by prominent Arts and Crafts artists including William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones, shaping how light fills the interior. These works reflect how the building became connected to the artistic movements of its era.

Access is provided through a paved path to the north door without steps. Toilets and a café are located nearby, making a visit convenient.

The pale stone spire, approximately 53 meters tall, became one of Cambridge's most striking landmarks when completed in 1871. Its design was inspired by an older church spire in Ashbourne and continues to shape the city's skyline today.
